Team Safepad plays for Global Goal 4 Quality Education
Look out for the pink girls and help us support girls by securing quality education for all!
Why Global Goal 4?
More than 130 million girls worldwide are missing out on school. Some of the reasons are lack of information and education on Menstrual Health Management (MHM), a lack of sanitary menstrual hygiene products and a lack of sanitary toilet facilities. Ultimately, this puts girls and women at risk of infection and disease, of early pregnancy, and of missing out on an education.
The difficulties facing girls and women across the world in relation to menstrual hygiene are numerous and unacceptable. The topic of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) continues to be a taboo subjected to shame and stigma. The lack of access to information, education, and products to manage one’s period with dignity and pride are essential. In some societies, girls and women are considered “unclean” while on their period, and thus for that reason excluded from school as well as from other social events. This is why we focus on the Sustainable Development Goal 4. Quality education for all.
Altogether, girls and women are faced with barriers excluding them from parts of society, and we all share a responsibility to break down these barriers for good. In doing so, we are not only investing in the future of our girls and women, but just as much in the economic development of local communities and countries.
How will the Team take action for the Goal?
We are part of a global campaign that raises awareness on the difficulties that girls and women are facing in relation to menstrual hygiene. We will host an event in Aalborg the 28th of may celebrating World Menstrual Hygiene Day to highlight the importance of good menstrual hygiene management.
So look out for the pink girls inside and outside the football field and support our work for Quality Education.
How will the Team measure impact and reach?
We will measure our May campaign together with our national and global partners.
